I have admired for a long time the professional-quality tools and the wide choice of software on openSUSE, and wish the community well in its efforts to find a new identity.

The guys who named web browser "Phoenix"? And when BIOS manufacturer complained, renamed the browser to "Firebird" (as in database)? Yeah, they are great when it comes to non-conflicting names.

Don't use "Gecko"
